Q. A car and a bike start from the same point and travel in the same direction. The car travels at 100 km/h and the bike at 40 km/h. How far apart will they be after 1 hour?
A.
40 km
B.
50 km
C.
60 km
D.
70 km
Solution
Distance apart = (100 km/h - 40 km/h) × 1 h = 60 km.
Q. A car and a bike start from the same point and travel in the same direction. The car travels at 100 km/h and the bike at 50 km/h. How far apart will they be after 1 hour?
A.
25 km
B.
30 km
C.
50 km
D.
60 km
Solution
Distance apart = (Speed of Car - Speed of Bike) × Time = (100 km/h - 50 km/h) × 1 hour = 50 km.

Q. A caselet describes the revenue generated by four different departments in a company. If Department A generated $100,000, Department B $150,000, Department C $200,000, and Department D $50,000, which department contributed the least to the total revenue?
Q. A class has 10 boys and 15 girls. If the average height of boys is 150 cm and that of girls is 145 cm, what is the average height of the class?
A.
147 cm
B.
148 cm
C.
149 cm
D.
150 cm
Solution
Total height of boys = 10 * 150 = 1500 cm. Total height of girls = 15 * 145 = 2175 cm. Total height = 1500 + 2175 = 3675 cm. Average height = 3675 / 25 = 147 cm.
Q. A class has 10 students with an average height of 150 cm. If 5 new students with an average height of 160 cm join, what is the new average height of the class?
A.
154
B.
155
C.
156
D.
157
Solution
Total height of 10 students = 10 * 150 = 1500 cm. Total height of 5 new students = 5 * 160 = 800 cm. New total height = 1500 + 800 = 2300 cm. New average = 2300 / 15 = 153.33 cm.
Q. A class has 30 students with an average score of 75. If 5 new students join with an average score of 80, what will be the new average?
A.
76
B.
77
C.
78
D.
79
Solution
Total score of 30 students = 30 * 75 = 2250. Total score of 5 new students = 5 * 80 = 400. New total = 2250 + 400 = 2650. New average = 2650 / 35 = 76.43.
Q. A class has 30 students with an average score of 75. If 5 new students join with an average score of 80, what is the new average score of the class?
A.
76
B.
77
C.
78
D.
79
Solution
Total score of 30 students = 30 * 75 = 2250. Total score of 5 new students = 5 * 80 = 400. New total = 2250 + 400 = 2650. New average = 2650 / 35 = 76.43.
Q. A class has 30 students. If the average score of the class is 75 and the average score of the top 10 students is 90, what is the average score of the bottom 20 students?
A.
60
B.
70
C.
75
D.
80
Solution
Total score of 30 students = 30 * 75 = 2250. Total score of top 10 students = 10 * 90 = 900. Total score of bottom 20 students = 2250 - 900 = 1350. Average score of bottom 20 = 1350 / 20 = 67.5.
